Beauty spots

My dear Friends

What with Spring upon us, I thought I would describe some of the beauty spots in Cambridge. If you want an indoor one, there is the magnificent Kings College Chapel, with its high vaulted ceiling, highly decorated and started in the reign of Henry VIII. (to only be finished some 400 years or so later).

Diagonally across from Kings is Clare College, with its beautiful walkway to the river, through the old university courtyards.The river really opens out at this point, and on the other side of the bridge is a walk through a daffodil-studded path until you eventually get to the University library.

If you want something a little more secluded, try the garden of Little St Mary's Church in Little St Mary's Lane, on the other side of the river, near the Graduate Centre. Old trees shelter you and you are quite secluded from busy Cambridge.

The backs of the Colleges on Queens Road are quite magnificent; especially Kings Chapel seen from the back-an elderly friend of mine said it is more beautiful than the front and another friend burst into tears at the sight of it, she said it was so beautiful.

These are just a few of the delights of Cambridge, more later.
